CHAPTER 12<br />

Applications in<br />

Communications<br />

Today MATLAB finds widespread use in the simulation of a variety of<br />

communication systems. In this chapter we shall focus on several applications<br />

dealing with waveform representation and coding, especially speech<br />

coding, and with digital communications. In particular, we shall describe<br />

several methods for digitizing analog waveforms, with specific application<br />

to speech coding and transmission. These methods are pulse-code modulation<br />

(PCM), differential PCM and adaptive differential PCM (ADPCM),<br />

delta modulation (DM) and adaptive delta modulation (ADM), and linear<br />

predictive coding (LPC). A project is formulated involving each of<br />

these waveform encoding methods for simulation using MATLAB.<br />

The last three topics treated in this chapter deal with signal-detection<br />

applications that are usually encountered in the implementation of a receiver<br />

in a digital communication system. For each of these topics we<br />

describe a project that involves the implementations via simulation of the<br />

detection scheme in MATLAB.<br />

12.1 PULSE-CODE MODULATION<br />

Pulse-code modulation is a method for quantizing an analog signal for<br />

the purpose of transmitting or storing the signal in digital form. PCM is<br />

widely used for speech transmission in telephone communications and for<br />

telemetry systems that employ radio transmission. We shall concentrate<br />

our attention on the application of PCM to speech signal processing.<br />
